D and I saw it at the Del Mar in Santa Cruz. It wasn't just a movie, it was an event. My favorite sign on the street: "Pre-emtive Impeachment Now."
They were running the show on two screens (the main theater, and one of the two small ones), and there were significant lines for the ticket holders. Non-ticket holders were out of luck. (D bought advance tickets on Thursday.)
I've followed his movies and books, and this is the best effort yet. He allowed the Smirk to be his own ridiculousness.
My only complaint: not enough Wolfowitz. But maybe that's just me. The extended shot of Wolfie slicking back his hair with spit was truly disgusting. I would have liked to see some "before and after" quotes from the Wolf-boy.
I was amazed how much of "my" material Moore cribbed. The "I'm a war president." quotation from meet the Tim. Rummy cozying up with Saddam. Powell's power points of death, etc., etc.
He covered a lot of ground familiar to those who have been paying attention, but it was a nicely assembled montage. I felt fresh outrage over and over again, and had to restrain myself from gesturing and yelling at the images of the stupid, vicious people running this country.
